I was hoping Boston lost last round and we could make a move on Marcus smart and Jayen if possible. Like I said above, if we don't trade Jrue this year then we obviously didn't get any offer worth while. Will any other 1-2 players come here during free agency and do more for us than him? Probably not. If he wants to walk then I think we respect him enough to not trade him for a bad package. If he stays then we can still trade him down the line and we aren't even sure what his contract could be yet.

Maybe Smart, but no way is Boston parting with Jaylen.

I think most people don't realize that this is Jrue's last year under contract. He has a player option for 2022, and i see no reason why he would play under it at his age if he knows he can get another 4 year deal done.
That fact also lessens his trade value. Teams that would trade for him have to feel confident they can resign him, or else he's just a 1 year rental. Would you give up the #2 pick and a top 10 pick next year for a 1 year rental? would you give up Jaylen Brown for a 1 year rental? Would you give up Herro/Robinson for a 1 year rental? This isn't a 1 year rental of Kawhi, it's Jrue.
